Writing Interchange

James and I really enjoyed working with Kelvin Hall School pupils to develop the story of Interchange. Read their blog about the visit here.

My favourite scene in Interchange is the one where the twins go to their local library. One finds a book on rugby league technique. The other finds a magazine about the game. We wanted to put libraries in the story because they are a fantastic place to find books about things you love.
Interchange was launched on World Book Night in Hull. There is an exhibition of James Innerdale’s illustrations at Hull Central Library.
